Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to negative-strand RNA viruses.
- the invention relates to methods and compositions for adapting Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) particles to growth in cell culture for use in production.
- VSV Vesicular Stomatitis Virus
- VSV Vesicular stomatitis virus
- N nucleocapsid protein
- P phosphoprotein
- M matrix protein
- G attachment glycoprotein
- L RNA-dependent RNA polymerase
- the N gene encodes the nucleocapsid protein responsible for encapsidating the genome while the P (phosphoprotein) and L (large) coding sequences specify subunits of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
- the matrix protein (M) promotes virion maturation and lines the inner surface of the virus particle.
- VSV encodes a single envelope glycoprotein (G), which serves as the cell attachment protein, mediates membrane fusion, and is the target of neutralizing antibodies.
- VSVin Indiana
- VSVnj New Jersey
- mice can easily be infected experimentally via a variety of inoculation routes and thus serve as an excellent small animal model for immunogenicity, pathogenicity and neurovirulence studies (Bruno-Lobo, et al. An. Microbiol. (Rio J.) 15:53-68, 1968; Bruno-Lobo, et al., An. Microbiol. (Rio J.) 15:69-80, 1968; Flanagan, E. B. et al. J. Virol. 77:5740-8, 2003; Wagner, R. R. Infect. Immun. 10:309-315, 1974; Huneycutt, et al. J. Virol. 67:6698-706, 1993).
- VSV has demonstrated promise as a vector for immunogenic compositions containing a number of human pathogens including HIV, papilloma virus, RSV, hepatitis C virus and influenza virus. Numerous properties make VSV an attractive candidate vector for human use (Bukreyev, et al. J. Virol. 80:10293-306, 2006; Clarke, et al. Springer Semin Immunopathol. 28: 239-253, 2006).
- VSV is not a human pathogen; 2) there is little pre-existing immunity that might impede its use in humans; 3) VSV readily infects many cell types; 4) it propagates efficiently in cell lines suitable for manufacturing immunogenic compositions; 5) it is genetically stable; 6) methods exist by which recombinant virus can be produced; 7) VSV can accept one or more foreign gene inserts and direct high levels of expression upon infection; and 8) VSV infection is an efficient inducer of both cellular and humoral immunity.
- Such studies have been greatly facilitated by the advent of a reverse genetics technique that allows for easy recovery of rVSV from genomic cDNA (Lawson, et al.
- a process or a method for adaptation of a highly attenuated VSV recombinant to tissue culture conditions by continuous passaging at low multiplicity of infection (MOI) in Vero cells or in any susceptible cell substrate results in genotypic changes characterized by progressive accrual of a number of nucleotide (NT) substitutions throughout the viral genome. Most of these nucleotide substitutions result in amino acid (AA) substitutions in the VSV proteins.
- This process resulted in phenotypic adaptation of the virus, accompanied by substantial improvements in virus yield. Passage in Vero cells is continued until genotypic and phenotypic stability is achieved, usually in 10 to 15 serial passages (P10-P15).

- adjuvant refers to a compound or mixture that enhances the immune response to an antigen.
- An adjuvant can serve as a tissue depot that slowly releases the antigen and also as a lymphoid system activator that non-specifically enhances the immune response (Hood et al., Immunology, Second Ed., 1984, Benjamin/Cummings: Menlo Park, Calif., p. 384).
- a primary challenge with an antigen alone, in the absence of an adjuvant may fail to elicit a sufficient humoral or cellular immune response.

- a process or a method for adaptation of a highly attenuated recombinant VSV to tissue culture conditions by continuous passaging at low multiplicity of infection (MOI) in Vero cells or in any susceptible cell substrate results in genotypic changes characterized by progressive accrual of a number of nucleotide substitutions throughout the viral genome. Most of these nucleotide substitutions result in amino acid (AA) substitutions in the VSV proteins.

- a highly attenuated VSV vector expressing the HIV-1 gag gene was generated, rVSVN4CT1-gag1, which was made by combining three virus attenuating approaches: insertion of HIV-1 gag gene in the first position of the genome (gag1), thereby shifting all VSV genes from the 3′-promoter by one position, translocation of VSV N gene to the 4 th position (N4) and use of a VSV G with its cytoplasmic tail truncated to 1 amino acid (CT1) (Schnell, et al. The EMBO Journal 17:1289-1296, 1998).
- CT1 cytoplasmic tail truncated to 1 amino acid
- this vector Compared to the prototypic rVSV, this vector displayed a marked increase in attenuation in vitro as characterized by smaller plaque phenotype, delayed growth kinetics and greatly reduced peak titers in cell culture. A similar pattern of attenuation was displayed when tested in a highly sensitive murine intracranial (IC) animal model, which showed differences in LD 50 of many orders of magnitude between the prototypic and attenuated VSV (Cooper et al, J. Virology, 82:207-229, 2008). In addition, compared to prototypic VSV, the attenuated virus displayed minimal to undetectable neuropathology in non-human primates. Although this vector induces potent immune responses in mice and macaques that were comparable to those obtained with the prototype vector, it replicates poorly in cell culture making it suboptimal for scale up and manufacturing.
- IC intracranial
- this vector would make a promising vector candidate for testing in humans.
- Two factors that are critical for testing of this vector in humans are the stability of the three attenuating mutations noted above and the increased manufacturing yields.
- genetic stability studies were conducted, which consisted of serial passages of rVSV vectors in Vero cells. Viruses were passaged in Vero cells at low multiplicity of infection (MOI, 0.01). The data obtained from the viruses passaged 25 times revealed that while all three vector-attenuating mutations were retained, additional amino acids (AA) substitutions appeared as early as passage 5 (P5). As viruses were passaged further, mutations were fixed by passage 15 (P15).
- this invention demonstrates that P15 viruses exhibit genotypic and phenotypic stability and grow to levels suitable for large-scale manufacturing of clinical trial material suitable for toxicological and clinical evaluation.

- RNA virus rescue methods Methods of producing recombinant RNA virus are referred to in the art as “rescue” or “reverse genetics” methods. Exemplary rescue methods for VSV are described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,033,886, U.S. Pat. No. 6,596,529 and WO 2004/113517, each incorporated herein by reference.
- the transcription and replication of negative-sense, single stranded, non-segmented, RNA viral genomes are achieved through the enzymatic activity of a multimeric protein complex acting on the ribonucleoprotein core (nucleocapsid). Naked genomic RNA cannot serve as a template.
- genomic sequences are recognized only when they are entirely encapsidated by the N protein into the nucleocapsid structure. It is only in that context that the genomic and antigenomic terminal promoter sequences are recognized to initiate the transcriptional or replication pathways.
- a cloned DNA equivalent of the VSV genome is placed between a suitable DNA-dependent RNA polymerase promoter (e.g., the T7 RNA polymerase promoter) and a self-cleaving ribozyme sequence (e.g., the hepatitis delta ribozyme), which is inserted into a suitable transcription vector (e.g., a propagatable bacterial plasmid).
- a suitable transcription vector e.g., a propagatable bacterial plasmid.
- This transcription vector provides the readily manipulable DNA template from which the RNA polymerase (e.g., T7 RNA polymerase) can faithfully transcribe a single-stranded RNA copy of the VSV antigenome (or genome) with the precise, or nearly precise, 5′ and 3′ termini.
- VSV genomic DNA copy and the flanking promoter and ribozyme sequences determine whether antigenome or genome RNA equivalents are transcribed.
- VSV-specific trans-acting support proteins needed to encapsidate the naked, single-stranded VSV antigenome or genome RNA transcripts into functional nucleocapsid templates: the viral nucleocapsid (N) protein, the polymerase-associated phosphoprotein (P) and the polymerase (L) protein. These proteins comprise the active viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase which must engage this nucleocapsid template to achieve transcription and replication.
- a genetically modified and attenuated VSV of the invention comprising at least two different classes of mutations in its genome (e.g., see Section A), is produced according to rescue methods known in the art.
- a genetically modified VSV vector comprising at least two different classes of mutations in its genome is generated using (1) a transcription vector comprising an isolated nucleic acid molecule which comprises a polynucleotide sequence encoding a genome or antigenome of a VSV and (2) at least one expression vector which comprises at least one isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding the trans-acting N, P and L proteins necessary for encapsidation, transcription and replication; in a host cell under conditions sufficient to permit the co-expression of these vectors and the production of the recombinant VSV.
- Any suitable VSV strain or serotype may be used according to the present invention, including, but not limited to, VSV Indiana, VSV New Jersey, VSV Chandipura, VSV Glasgow, and the like.
- the polynucleotide sequence may also encode one or more heterologous (or foreign) polynucleotide sequences or open reading frames (ORFs).
- the heterologous polynucleotide sequences can vary as desired, and include, but are not limited to, a co-factor, a cytokine (such as an interleukin), a T-helper epitope, a CTL epitope, a restriction marker, an adjuvant, or a protein of a different microbial pathogen (e.g. virus, bacterium, parasite or fungus), especially proteins capable of eliciting desirable immune responses.
- a heterologous ORF contains an HIV gene (e.g., gag, env, pol, vif, net, tat, vpr, rev or vpu).
- the HIV gene is gag, wherein the gag gene is inserted into the VSV genome at position one (3′-gag 1 -NPMGL-5′) or at position five (3′-NPMG-gag 5 -L-5′).
- the heterologous polynucleotide sequence further encodes a cytokine, such as interleukin-12, which are selected to improve the prophylactic or therapeutic characteristics of the recombinant VSV.
- a genetically modified and attenuated VSV of the invention is mutated by conventional means, such as chemical mutagenesis.
- a chemical mutagen is added, followed by: (a) selection of virus that has been subjected to passage at suboptimal temperature in order to select temperature-sensitive and/or cold adapted mutations, (b) identification of mutant virus that produce small plaques in cell culture, and (c) passage through heterologous hosts to select for host range mutations.
- attenuating mutations comprise making predetermined mutations using site-directed mutagenesis and then rescuing virus containing these mutations.
- a genetically modified VSV of the invention comprises at least two classes of mutation in its genome.
- one or more classes of mutation further comprises multiple mutations, such as a G-stem mutation class having a double mutation (e.g., a deletion, insertion, substitution, etc.), a triple mutation and the like. These attenuated VSV vectors are then screened for attenuation of their virulence in an animal model.
- the typical (although not necessarily exclusive) circumstances for rescue include an appropriate mammalian cell milieu in which T7 polymerase is present to drive transcription of the antigenomic (or genomic) single-stranded RNA from the viral genomic cDNA-containing transcription vector. Either co-transcriptionally or shortly thereafter, this viral antigenome (or genome) RNA transcript is encapsidated into functional templates by the nucleocapsid protein and engaged by the required polymerase components produced concurrently from co-transfected expression plasmids encoding the required virus-specific trans-acting proteins. These events and processes lead to the prerequisite transcription of viral mRNAs, the replication and amplification of new genomes and, thereby, the production of novel VSV progeny, i.e., rescue.
- the transcription vector and expression vector are typically plasmid vectors designed for expression in the host cell.
- the expression vector which comprises at least one isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding the trans-acting proteins necessary for encapsidation, transcription and replication expresses these proteins from the same expression vector or at least two different vectors. These vectors are generally known from the basic rescue methods, and they need not be altered for use in the improved methods of this invention.
- the host cells used in the rescue of VSV are those which permit the expression from the vectors of the requisite constituents necessary for the production of recombinant VSV.
- Such host cells can be selected from a prokaryotic cell or a eukaryotic cell, and preferably a vertebrate cell.
- host cells are derived from a human cell, such as a human embryonic kidney cell (e.g., 293). Vero cells, as well as many other types of cells are also used as host cells.
- suitable host cells (1) Human Diploid Primary Cell Lines (e.g. WI-38 and MRC5 cells); (2) Monkey Diploid Cell Line (e.g.
- FRhL-Fetal Rhesus Lung cells FRhL-Fetal Rhesus Lung cells); (3) Quasi-Primary Continues Cell Line (e.g. AGMK-African green monkey kidney cells); (4) Human 293 cells and (5) other potential cell lines, such as, CHO, MDCK (Madin-Darby Canine Kidney), primary chick embryo fibroblasts.
- a transfection facilitating reagent is added to increase DNA uptake by cells. Many of these reagents are known in the art (e.g., calcium phosphate). Lipofectace (Life Technologies, Gaithersburg, Md.) and Effectene (Qiagen, Valencia, Calif.) are common examples. Lipofectace and Effectene are both cationic lipids.
- Lipofectace forms a liposome that surrounds the DNA while Effectene coats the DNA but does not form a liposome.
- the plasmid DNA uptake can also be enhanced by electroporation of the cells, whereby a high voltage current is applied across cuvette containing cells and DNA for milliseconds.
- the rescued attenuated VSV is then tested for its desired phenotype (temperature sensitivity, cold adaptation, plaque morphology, and transcription and replication attenuation), first by in vitro means.
- the mutations are also tested using a minireplicon system where the required trans-acting encapsidation and polymerase activities are provided by wild-type or modified helper viruses, or by plasmids expressing the N, P and different L genes harboring gene-specific attenuating mutations.
- the attenuated VSV is also tested in vivo for synergistic attenuation in an animal neurovirulence model. For example, mouse and/or ferret models are established for detecting neurovirulence.
- mice are injected intra-cranially (IC) with each of a range of virus concentrations that span the anticipated LD 50 dose (a dose that is lethal for 50% of animals).
- IC inoculations with virus at 10 2 , 10 3 , 10 4 and 10 5 pfu are used where the anticipated LD 50 for the virus is in the range 10 3 -10 4 pfu.
- Virus formulations are prepared by serial dilution of purified virus stocks in PBS. Mice are then injected through the top of the cranium with the requisite dose, in 50-100 ⁇ l of PBS. Animals are monitored daily for weight loss, morbidity and death. The LD 50 for a virus vector is then calculated from the cumulative death of mice over the range of concentrations tested.
- the invention provides synergistically attenuated and genetically modified VSV (using the serial passage methods of the present invention at a low MOI) further comprising a foreign RNA sequence as a separate transcriptional unit inserted into or replacing a site of the genome nonessential for replication, wherein the foreign RNA sequence (which is in the negative sense) directs the production of a protein capable of being expressed in a host cell infected by VSV.

- VSV purification processes e.g., purification via sucrose gradient centrifugation
- the currently available VSV purification processes there is typically an inverse relationship between the purity and recovery (percent yield) of VSV samples, thereby making it difficult to manufacture sufficient quantities of purified VSV.
- increased cell concentrations and longer culture times result in higher VSV titers, with concomitant increases in cell debris and concentrations of organic constituents in the bioreactor fluid, further complicating VSV purification processes.
- Sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation has been the standard method for virus purification (including VSV purification) since 1964 (Yamada et al., 2003 BioTechniques, 34(5):1074-1078, 1080; Brown et al., 1967 J. Immun., 99(1):171-7; Robinson et al., 1965 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA, 54(1):137-44; Nishimura et al., 1964 Japan. J. Med. Sci. Biol., 17(6):295-305).
- virus concentrations increase, concomitant increases in cell debris, host DNA and protein impurities also occur, which are very difficult to remove at higher concentrations via sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation.
- Affinity chromatography such as heparin (Zolotukhin et al., 1999 Gene Ther., 6(6):973-985), lectin (Kaarsnaes et al., 1983 J. Chromatog., 266:643-9; Kristiansen et al., 1976 Prot. Biol. Fluids, 23:663-5) and MatrexTM CellufineTM sulfate (Downing et al., 1992 J. Virol. Meth., 38(2):215-228), has found some application in virus purification. Heparin and lectin are generally not preferred (or used) for cGMP virus production due to possible leaching problems, which would require additional tests prior to product release.
- MatrexTM CellufineTMsulfate Affinity purification of virus using MatrexTM CellufineTMsulfate is an unresolved issue, due to efficiency of virus purification, virus quality and column regeneration.
- VSV purification very large affinity columns are needed (e.g., 0.2 L MatrexTM CellufineTM sulfate resin per liter of cell culture; Wyeth Vaccine unpublished results).
- Low virus yield was observed when purified via ion exchange chromatography, either alone, or in combination with other types of traditional chromatographic techniques used in virus purification (International Patent Publication No. WO2006/011580; Specht et al., 2004 Biotech.

All steps after rescue were performed in serum-free medium (DMEM). All steps after clonal purification were performed in serum-free, antibiotic-free medium (DMEM).
- Vero cells from a T150 flask were placed in a tube containing 10 ⁇ g of the rVSV IN N4CT1Gag1 full-length viral cDNA plasmid and five support plasmids encoding the VSV N, P, L, M, and G proteins under control of the T7 promoter (10, 4, 1, 1, 2 ⁇ g, respectively).
- a seventh plasmid was added at 50 ⁇ g to supply T7 RNA polymerase; this plasmid is controlled by cellular RNA polymerase II.
- the suspension was subjected to electroporation and the cells were resuspended and transferred to a T150 flask. The flask was incubated at 37° C.
- the virus plaquing was performed on Vero cells in six-well plates with agar overlay in DMEM with Gentamicin and without serum.
- the rescue supernatant containing infectious virus was diluted in DMEM so as to achieve ⁇ 5 plaques per well.
- a number of well-isolated plaques were picked, suspended in DMEM and subjected to two to three additional rounds of plaque purification.
- the lead plaque from the fourth cloning was picked and suspended in DMEM and was then used for three successive virus amplifications on Vero cells in 6-well plates, T25 flasks and T150 flasks, respectively.
- Amplification was performed using DMEM without serum and without antibiotics.
- the recombinant virus obtained by this processed was termed as low passage virus and was used for further passaging in Vero cells for cell adaptation as described below.
- Low passage VSV recombinants (P0) for each serotype were passaged 25 successive times on Vero cell monolayer in T-25 flasks as shown in FIG. 2 .
- the Vero cells grown in serum-free medium were infected with virus at multiple of infection (MOI) of ⁇ 0.01 and incubated in 32° C./5% CO 2 incubator until extensive CPE is visible, usually in 48 to 72 hours post-infection.
- MOI multiple of infection
- the virus culture was clarified by centrifugation at low speed and stabilized with 1 ⁇ SP Sucrose phosphate buffer.
- the 10 ⁇ SP contains per liter of potassium phosphate, dibasic, 12.2 gm; potassium phosphate, monobasic, 5.17 gm; sucrose, 746.2 gm).
- Virus cultures from passages 1 to 25 were titered by plaque assay as described earlier (Clarke et al., J. Virol., 81: 2056-64, 2007. Nucleotide sequencing was performed
- mice are highly sensitive to infection with VSV following intracranial inoculation (IC) causing rapid morbidity and mortality.
- IC intracranial inoculation
- the mouse IC LD50 neurovirulence animal model has been shown to be highly sensitive and capable of discriminating changes in virulence of VSV recombinants (Clarke et al, J. Virol., 81, 2056-64, 2007).
- the mice receiving wt VSVin lost weight dramatically and died 2 to 4 days postinoculation with LD50 of 1 to 2 pfu.
- Viruses containing either CT truncations or gene shuffles were shown to be more attenuated than the wt VSV with LD50 of 12 to 21 pfu (Clarke et al, J. Virol., 81, 2056-64, 2007).
- CT1 mutation was combined with gene shuffles (N4 and or gag1) mutations.
- N4 and or gag1 mutations For example, low passage rVSVinN4CT1gag1 exhibited extremely low level of virulence with LD50 of >10 7 pfu, the highest dose tested in this animal model.
- mice inoculated with this virus initially lost 10 to 20% of their weight post inoculation, but recovered to normal weight in ⁇ 2 to 3 weeks. Similar results were seen with NJ serotype of the virus (Cooper et al., J Virology, 82, 207-29, 2008).
- the Vero-adapted VSVN4CT1gag1 of this invention at passage 15 to 25 for each serotypes (IN and NJ) were tested in the murine IC LD50 animal model; no increase in virulence was seen, with LD50 of >10 7 pfu for all passaged viruses as shown in FIG. 7 .
- These results showed that the adaptive mutations accrued in viruses passaged in cell cultures did not impact on the virulence of the virus.
- the low virulence, along with their enhanced replication to high titers make the passaged viruses suitable for testing in human clinical trial.
- mice Five-week old female Swiss Webster mice were anesthetized and injected IC with 10-fold dilutions of virus in 30 ⁇ l volume (10 animals per dilution, with dilutions made to range around the anticipated LD50). Weight and health status were recorded daily for two weeks. Mice becoming either bilaterally paralyzed or showing significant signs of distress or severe illness were sacrificed and recorded as succumbing to VSV disease.
- the LD50 was determined by the method of Reed and Muench, (Am. J. Hyg. 27, 493-97, 1938).
- the serially passaged P15 viruses grew to much higher titers. This facilitated large scale manufacturing of clinical trial material (CTM).
- CTM clinical trial material
- the stabilization of adaptive mutations by P15 provided viruses with manufacturing lot-to-lot consistency during CTM production.
- the safety profile of the passaged viruses remained unchanged as tested by the murine IC LD50 animal model, thereby maintaining suitability for clinical evaluation.
- the bioreactor was perfused with 0.5 culture volumes per day of Gibco VP-SFM media (with or without phenol red) at 37° C. After 70-90 hours or when the cell density was ⁇ 2 ⁇ 10 6 cells/mL, the culture was infected at an MOI of 0.001 at 32° C. with either low-passage ( ⁇ P5) or high-passage (P15) VSV N4CT1-gag1 virus. The cultures were sampled 2-3 times daily and ultimately harvested at 48-60 hours post-infection.
- Bioreactor runs X-BRN10-VSV-14, 17, and 28 were completed using low-passage virus material (solid lines) to infect the cultures.
- Bioreactor runs X-BRN10-VSV-31, 33 and 34 were completed using high-passage Research Virus Seed (dashed lines). The growth kinetics for each run are shown in FIG. 10 . The passage number of the virus is indicated in brackets in the legend of the figure.
- each set of runs is consistent with each other.
- the high-passage bioreactor runs produced up to two logs higher titers than the low-passage runs. Based upon the growth kinetics of the high-passage material, the harvest time was determined to be approximately 48 hours post-infection.
- Bioreactor runs X-BRN10-VSV-15, 18, 19, 20, 22 and 23 were completed using low-passage virus material (solid lines) to infect the cultures.
- Bioreactor runs X-BRN10-VSV-36, and 37 were completed using high-passage Research Virus Seed (dashed lines). The growth kinetics for each run is shown in FIG. 11 .
- VSVnjN4CT1-gag1 The harvest time for VSVnjN4CT1-gag1 was determined to be approximately 48 hours post-infection, as was the case for VSVinN4CT1-gag1.
- the P15 N4CT1-gag1 resulted in ⁇ 35-fold increase in bioreactor titers and a 45-fold increase in the number of virus particles produced per cell for Indiana and ⁇ 5-fold increase in bioreactor titers and a 7-fold increase in the number of virus particles produced per cell for New Jersey. (See Tables 3 and 4)
